癸酉 Gui You Day Pillar: A clear spring rising between rocks

By Data Saju · Published October 3, 2026 · Updated November 5, 2026

Gui You is clear rain (癸) over pure metal (酉) — clean, clear energy, like spring water rising between rocks.

At a glance

Personality

Pure and highly intuitive, valuing principle and neatness. Sitting on an Indirect Resource, you have unusual senses and insight; 酉 holds only Metal, so your thinking is clear and your standards definite. The Illness stage makes you delicate and sensitive.

Love and partner

With an Indirect Resource in the spouse palace, you choose a kindred spirit carefully. Your ideal is demanding, but once you give your heart it is deep and constant. A single careless word can hurt you, so a partner you can talk to easily suits you.

Work and money

Work that needs accuracy and fine senses suits you: research, medicine, accounting, analysis, art. Money comes from careful management and expertise.

Cautions and advice

Perfectionism and fastidiousness can wear you out; practise loosening your standards a little. Looking after your stamina and warm, sunny (Fire) activities bring this clear spring to life.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 戊辰 Wu Chen. With a stem combination and a Six Harmony at once (天合地合), these pairs are drawn to each other and mesh naturally.

Stems and branches both clash: 丁卯 Ding Mao, 己卯 Ji Mao. The branches clash and the stems collide too, so methods and pace differ and tension arises easily — though such pairs can also spur each other to grow.

Real compatibility looks at both whole charts, each person's useful element and the luck you go through together, not one day pillar. See how compatibility works.

When does a Gui You day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 癸酉 Gui You days fall 13 times: Fri, Dec 25, 2026; Tue, Feb 23, 2027; Sat, Apr 24, 2027; Wed, Jun 23, 2027; Sun, Aug 22, 2027; Thu, Oct 21, 2027; Mon, Dec 20, 2027; Fri, Feb 18, 2028; Tue, Apr 18, 2028; Sat, Jun 17, 2028; Wed, Aug 16, 2028; Sun, Oct 15, 2028; Thu, Dec 14, 2028 (by the local calendar date). A day that repeats your own day pillar is read as a day when your Day Master is strong — some use it to start something important or to take stock.

What 2026 and 2027 mean for a Gui You day pillar

• 2026, the 丙午 Bing Wu year: the stem 丙 is your Direct Wealth and the branch 午 is your Indirect Wealth, so it is a year when money, practical gains and activity increase. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.
• 2027, the 丁未 Ding Wei year: the stem 丁 is your Indirect Wealth and the branch 未 is your Seven Killings, so it is a year when money, practical gains and activity increase. The stem clashes with your Day Master, so your thinking may waver. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Gui You day pillar we calculated the ten god of each month's stem and how the month's branch meets your day branch. Months that combine with your day branch: April (甲辰), May (乙巳), January 2028 (癸丑). The month that clashes with it: March (癸卯).

Zodiac signs that suit Gui You, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 酉, the Ox (丑), Dragon (辰), Snake (巳) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Rabbit (卯) clashes with it, so pace and style differ. A zodiac sign is only the other person's year branch, so real compatibility needs both whole charts.

The facts table, the matching pillars, the dates, the 2026–2027 flow and the zodiac signs all come from the same engine as our readings; the month pillars were re-checked against the solar-term times. A day pillar is two of the eight characters in a chart, so the same day pillar reads quite differently depending on the year, month and hour of birth.
